1977 saw one of those events, which older rally fans will remember well. The battle between the three works Fiat Abarth 131's and the Masport Ford Escort RS1800 driven by a young Ari Vatanen. The event which started in Wellington , took in some very long stages north of Wairoa on the East Coast, and it was in one of those long stages that an ever trying Ari Vatanen caught and passed all 3 Fiats. Vatanen saw more of the scenery than most bringing the battle scarred Escort home just 1-1/2 minutes behind eventual winner Fulvio Bacchelli.
An interesting feature is the lack of mirrors on the car even though the supports are in place, this was due to the mirrors being removed when the car was shipped to New Zealand and for some reason were never refitted.
